Aging
The culprit is glycation,
a process caused by an improper diet high in sugar. Excess glucose cannot find transporters to the cells and eventually binds to proteins like collagen. As a result, collagen fibers contract, and the skin loses elasticity. Waste is not eliminated, and the skin becomes saggy and vulnerable over time.
Damages gut flora
A healthy gut flora promotes digestion and protects the digestive system from harmful bacteria. High sugar consumption promotes the growth of fungi and parasites in our intestines, especially Candida, a yeast-like fungus that causes many infections in large amounts. Sugar also causes gas, constipation, and diarrhea.
It makes you addicted
Obese people's brains react to sugar similarly to alcohol or other addictive substances because it releases large amounts of dopamine. Try it yourself: eliminate sugar from your diet for ten days. If you experience headaches,
irritability, and your body craves something sweet on the second day, withdrawal symptoms are present.
Increases weight
Sugar is quickly absorbed as glucose and provides instant energy. If not used immediately, the body stores it as fat. On the other hand, fructose, found in vegetables and fruits, is metabolized and stored in the liver. A diet high in fructose can cause insulin and fatty liver resistance, leading to type 2 diabetes.
Affects mood
In small amounts, sugar helps release serotonin, giving us a sense of well-being. However, excessive consumption can lead to depression and anxiety. Sudden changes in blood sugar levels can cause irritability, mood swings, and nervousness.
Can make you aggressive
People who consume a lot of sugar are more likely to be aggressive. ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) in children is also strongly influenced by sugar. The more they consume, the worse they concentrate, the more nervous they are, and the harder it is to sit still for long periods. It is recommended that school-age children avoid sugar.
Increases the likelihood of cancer
Cancer cells feed on sugar. A team of scientists from Harvard Medical School is studying the role of sugar in the formation of cancer cells. They argue that in many cases, cancer can only occur with high sugar consumption. While it hasn't been proven yet, it is recommended that slim people consume as little sugar as possible.
Clouds your mind
A high sugar intake can damage memory. A study by the Charité Clinic in Berlin showed that people with very high sugar content have a smaller hippocampus. This brain region is crucial for long-term memory. Subjects in this study had poorer memory in tests than those with lower sugar levels.
Weakens immune defenses
Misuse of sugar can suppress the immune system, weakening its ability to fight infections. Shortly after eating, the immune system weakens by 40%. Sugar robs white blood cells of the vitamin C they need to fight viruses and bacteria. There is also a tendency for inflammation, which can trigger many diseases.
Facilitates the onset of Alzheimer's
Many studies have shown that excessive sugar consumption increases the risk of Alzheimer's. A 2013 report showed that insulin resistance and high blood sugar levels (
two clear symptoms of diabetes) are also linked to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's.
